HSV-zero: An Effective, Natural
Topical Treatment For Herpes

For thousands
of years, mankind has used the natural healing properties of herbs and
plants to treat a wide range of illnesses and injuries. Much of modern
medicine is based on the use of drugs which have their origins in flora
– for instance, aspirin is derived from the bark of the willow tree.
The active ingredients in many drugs were originally extracted from
plants, then modified and synthesised to produce a wide range of
valuable and effective patented medicines that treat and cure a vast
number of diseases.

While the
beneficial impact of modern pharmaceutical drugs cannot be overstated,
it would be foolish to ignore the power of plants and herbs to treat
ailments – but, of course, extracts from plants and herbs cannot be
patented, so there is little incentive for big pharmaceutical
corporations to conduct this type of research since rivals could simply
copy the end product.

Nature and Science in Partnership

We have
unlocked the power of nature to produce an effective topical treatment
for herpes. HSV-zero contains key plant extracts that have been shown
in independent clinical trials, conducted by research scientists and
clinicians, to kill the herpes simplex virus, suppress viral
replication, stimulate the immune system, soothe irritated skin and
promote healing.

HSV-zero
antiviral herpes treatment is an effective topical lotion for easing
the discomfort of genital herpes and herpes cold sores. But HSV-zero is
much more than just a soothing herbal ointment.

HSV-zero
penetrates deeply into the dermis; its active ingredients kill the
herpes virus and inhibit viral shedding, meaning that you are less
likely to pass the infection on to your partner. HSV-zero contains
plant extracts that dramatically reduce the time your body needs to
heal the lesions associated with herpes.

HSV-zero
can be used prophylactically to prevent the recurrence of herpes by
applying it to the genitals, or other affected area, after showering.
The lotion is rapidly absorbed into the skin and starts to work
immediately.

HSV-zero’s
Secret Is Nature’s Secret

In creating
an effective topical treatment for herpes sores, we have taken full
advantage of scientific knowledge and harnessed it with nature’s gifts.
All of the natural plant extracts used in HSV-zero have been tested in
double-blind, controlled studies which are designed to evaluate their
clinical effects. In a double-blind trial, neither the subject nor the
physician knows which of the volunteers is being treated with the
active substance and which with a harmless, inactive placebo – it is
the gold standard for drug testing within the clinical research world.

The natural
ingredients selected for HSV-zero have been chosen with their
demonstrated efficacies in mind. A number of these plant extracts work
against genital herpes through multiple mechanisms. The medicinal value
of many of these herbs has been known to man for centuries.

Herpes
anti-viral properties

Apigenin from Chamomileinhibits inflamation and has been
shown to have anti-viral activity against the herpes virus. The mode of
action may involve inhibiting the transcription of viral DNA.

Lemon Balm(Melissa
officinalis) has antiviral
properties. Scientific
studies show it to be an anti-viral agent with potency against HSV that
offers a reduced healing time (up to 3 ½ times faster) from a
herpes outbreak, if used at the outset of the episode. In a
multicenter study on 115 patients, the treatment of lesions was
commenced between 24 and 72 hours from their outbreak. It was found
that the lesions in 87 percent of patients were completely healed
within six days of treatment. The time between outbreaks was again
prolonged for 69 percent of patients. The average time between
outbreaks was 2.3 months with lemon balm treatment compared to only 1.3
months for conventional treatments. In another trial with lemon
balm cream sixty-six patients with recurrent HSV-1 either used the
active herbal cream or a placebo four times a day for five days on any
herpes outbreaks. By day two, the symptom score was significantly lower
for the herbal cream. Lemon
balm is believed to actively inhibit the replication of the herpes
virus.

Prunella vulgaris
is a Chinese herb. Extracts from the herb have demonstrated anti-viral
activity against HSV1 and HSV2. It is believed to act by competing with
the virus for active sites within cells.

St
John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum)
is known to have anti-viral activity which is associated with an
extract called quercetin and a second component called hypericin.
Quercetin also potentiates the healing process of herpes sores; whereas
hypericin is also associated with feelings of well-being. St John’s
wort has also been used by mankind since antiquity for treating snake
bites, wounds, burns and fever.

Bergamot
(Citrus aurantium extract) has been used in Italy for hundreds of years to
treat a variety of complaints. Also known as bitter orange, it is often
used as a soothing agent and skin conditioner and has antiseptic and
anti-inflammatory properties. It has demonstrated anti-viral effects
against rotavirus infection.

Passion
Flower (Passiflora incarnata) oil (Maracuja oil) is used in some natural skin care
products for treating dry skin and to nourish the skin. The plant
extract has astringent properties.

Herpes
virus reproduction inhibitory properties

Glycyrrhizin fromLicoriceroot extracts have been demonstrated to
inhibit reproduction of HSV-1 in in vitro
studies. The mode of action is believed to involve synthesis of
interferon which promotes production of proteins that prevent adhesion
of the virus to cell walls. Licorice boosts the immune system, helps to
heal the ulcers associated with herpes and also acts as an
anti-inflammatory agent.

Skin-soothing
properties

Allantoin
fromComfrey
root(Symphytum officinale) has
been found to heal viral skin infections and ulcers in medical
trials.
Allantoin is commonly used in cold sore lip balm medications such as
blistex and Neosporin Lip Treatment. The active ingredient extracted from the comfrey
root responsible for this
action is called allantoin
which is believed to stimulate cell growth. Comfrey root has been used
for hundreds of years to promote wound healing and reduce inflammation.

Calendula is used
for wound healing due to potential anti-inflammatory effects.
Topically, calendula is used as an anti-inflammatory and for poorly
healing wounds and skin ulcers. Some evidence suggests the
water-soluble flavonoids might be responsible for the wound-healing
effects. The
faradiol monoester is believed to play an important role in the
anti-inflammatory activity. The
extract has many valuable
properties, but its anti-inflammatory, astringency, anti-viral and
antiseptic qualities are why it is included in HSV-zero.

Oat
straw extract (Avena Sativa). Modern extraction technology has enabled two types
of compound to be separated from certain types of oat plants that have
beneficial effects on skin. Avenanthramides have astringent properties
and calm the irritation and itchiness associated with herpes sores. The
second compound is beta-glucan and is an effective moisturizing agent,
helping skin to regain its protective function.

Other Ingredients

All topical
preparations need to incorporate a medium, called a carrier, that the
active ingredients can be added to that the patient can then apply to
the affected part of their body. The carrier for HSV-zero is Dimethyl
sulphoxide (DMSO).

DMSO is a
wood extract. Since it is able to penetrate the skin easily, it is used
by the pharmaceutical industry to deliver drugs cutaneously and is also
used in some delayed release drug formulations.

However,
DMSO is more than a mere carrier: DMSO can be used as a preservative
for cryopreservation of cells (e.g. placental cord blood) and acts as
an antioxidant and a sink for free-radicals (which can cause cell
damage). DMSO is an established active ingredient for the treatment of
interstitial cystitis, a condition which involves inflammation of the
bladder wall. Whilst it has been used as an inert ingredient in topical
herpes treatments (idoxuridine), studies show that DMSO itself has
anti-viral action against herpes which is why we chose it as the
carrier in HSV-zero.
